Historical references
The Goddess Deveshi is mentioned in the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, in the context of the Yakshas, a class of nature deities. In one episode, Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, is in disguise as a Yaksha and is challenged by Markandeya Rishi to prove his divine status by revealing his true form. Bhima, unable to do so, calls upon Deveshi to reveal his true identity.
circa 400 BCE
Deveshi is also mentioned in the Puranic literature, specifically in the Agni Purana. In this context, Deveshi is described as the wife of Chandra, the moon god. She is said to have been cursed by the sage Durvasa and was transformed into a demon, causing her to be separated from her husband. Eventually, her curse was lifted and she was reunited with Chandra.
